Well, I must confess that I don’t read any genealogical society journals on a regular basis.

Getting it’s start in May 1957 as a one page monthly newsletter named Bulletin, the journal Footprints is now published quarterly by the Fort Worth Genealogical Society. It contains items such as: Bible records; church records; lodge records; cemetery and funeral home records; military records; newspaper clippings and obituaries; old letters, maps and diaries; school, tax and voter lists; queries; and other materials pertaining to genealogical or historical research in Texas.

Issues back to 1957 are available to purchase in CD-ROM. Lots of Tarrant County and Texas data available here!
